1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 3/4 c. unsifted all-purpose flour

Cream Crisco and sugars with electric mixer until fluffy. Add extracts and egg; beat well. Add baking powder, salt and nuts; mix until blended. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Press each ball around a Kiss so that each is completely covered.
